lol cheers lads, reckon I'll try wilko or morrisons then!
Btw, I've just bought some meguires NXT TECH wax - is it any good? I was after something I could spray on and take off easily for quickness coz I've got all the pastes etc for shows but I need something for 'everyday' use (e.g. quick, and good)

p.s. I paid £15.25 delivered for it from ebay.co.uk - is that an alright price?

Yeah I do use gold class but only really for shows as it takes me quite a while to apply and I wanted something spray on for everyday use..

thats not wax tho thats jus for parts thats got bit dirty since ur wash. personaly i dnt like that stuff really as u dnt get half the shine u wud frm a normal wash but the wax is awsome stuff an smells really nice aswell
I use the Next Gen wash gel, good rinse, Chamois dry then use the gold class polish/ wax stuff once a week. If the car is dirty I give it a quick wash then use the next gen spray wax stuff to maintain the shine.
With a good base of polish underneath the dirt should come off easy anyway ;)
As for cloths I steal lint free cloths for polishing with :)

If you want some proper cleaning stuff head over to Car Wash n Wax. Link to the Microfibre cloths here. - http://www.carwashnwax.com/10278/info.php?p=14&pno=0&pid=626420&cat=28217&ack=9&search=&sought=
for drying the car and rubbing off tar spots i use a thing called e-cloths they are amazing, tar spots come straight off, there is a white one for exterior and a blue one for glass.
i just use the glass one and the general purpose one but i have found a car one, would really recommend this!

tesco are really good for that **** mate, I got polishing cloths out there for £2 odds and it is 4 cloths soft white not the stuff you have to cut and makes a mess although you can get that for about 69p out there. They also do they microfibre cloths as well for about £1.27 really good value and works a treat too I use them for drying my car

Yeah I know, Ive got the gold class wax too and that stuff is class leaves a great shine, just saying that the spray is quite good too if you need a quick shine after a wash.
I use face towels from tesco about 67p each
you can get a huge roll from wilko for 79p... proper cotton ones too!
